Piastri says he has not signed Alpine contract for 2023

Alpine Formula One team's reserve driver Oscar Piastri said that he has not signed a contract and will not be racing for them in 2023, shortly after the team announced he had been promoted to a race seat.

"I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year," Piastri tweeted.

"This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year."
